The surprise of that night hit people in a lot of different ways but most would agree that they definitely felt the impact right away. For this episode I am doing things a little differently. This episode features several short conversations I had with people centered on how they felt as the election unfolded a year ago.

(with Melissa Ward-Peterson)Mon, 09 Oct 2017 20:22:29 +0000People tend to have very strong opinions about Hillary Clinton. This could be a result of many things, including indoctrination. Melissa returns to the podcast once again and we discuss how we were trained at a young age to despise Hillary Clinton and people like her. She recently released a book chronicling her firsthand experience of one of the biggest political upsets in American history and many people just want her to keep her mouth shut. We discuss the continued toxicity of political discourse, the misogynistic way women are silenced, and how we hope to see more people attempt to connect with and understand people who think differently.

Sophie returns to the podcast to discuss topics related to her post-graduate work with people convicted of sexual offenses. We discuss some firsthand experiences she has had with her clients as well as the laws that are in place for when they attempt to reenter society. Without claiming to know all the answers we do discuss some questions that are on our minds.

What rights does a person who committed a crime have after they have served their prison sentence?

How long can someone be seen as a victim if they have also committed an offense?

What are the actual steps that need to be taken to keep children and those who are vulnerable safe?

There are obviously all sorts of variations when it comes to number of children, how many parents, the ages or genders of each family member. Sometimes there is a temptation to believe that a "normal" family could exist. The pressure to feel normal is probably strongest during high school. My guest for this episode is my sister in law Carly who is about to start high school and joins me to discuss her experience of being adopted at a young age, how being adopted impacts her relationships at school, and how she connects with both adopted and birth parents.

That is the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. I recently called that number during a moment of panic and desperation. I'm very glad that I did. I don't have any guest on this episode. It's just me talking into a microphone hoping that if I describe what I experienced that it could help someone else in their moment of need. There is always someone willing to listen.

Life is hard. Dealing with work, school, friends, family, and loved ones can be incredibly taxing, especially given how connected people typically are through social media and cell phones. Is there a way to combat this common stress or even larger issues of depression and anxiety through small gestures? Serena joins me on this episode to discuss how self care gives one the opportunity to reflect on themselves, disconnect from modern social pressures, and assuage mental burdens. We share our experience with a new form of self care- eating an orange while taking a shower. Can this potentially silly act really have such a positive outcome? In a word, yes.

Just try it.

We have the capability to love more than we think. It is unhealthy to see your partner as the fulfillment of all your needs. Sorry, Jerry Maguire.

Melissa and I discuss a variety of topics mostly surrounding our religious upbringing and how we are reconciling those beliefs as adults. We discuss some of the reasons that church is no longer appealing to us- money, politics, and an overall shift away from needing any kind of spiritual certainty. Non-religious people may not relate to the existential crises we have been going through. Devout people will likely take issue with some of our criticisms. But there may be some people caught in the middle who are processing what it means to have faith if it appears so much different than everyone else's, even the past version of yourself.

NOTE: Christian and Melissa proudly consider the preparation for and recording of this episode them breaking the "Billy Graham rule."

My sister joins me on the show for this episode. She is known for many things, but first among them is her deep affection for sweet breakfast circle cakes. Calah tells of her history with donuts, her greatest donut eating accomplishments, and swears her doctor says she is somehow a healthy person. How many times has Calah gone to a donut shop in one day? What is the name of her preferred donut provider? What does she think of cronuts? Tune in to find out.

This bizarre movie pervaded my thoughts for days after seeing it, so I decided I had to discuss the film's plot and merits, or lack thereof. Since the only people I knew who had seen this movie were the kids who went with me, that is what led to this episode.

I am joined by 6 year old Dexter, who has appeared on The Third Act Podcast several times to give his opinion on movies, and 4 year old Soren, who is making his podcasting debut with this episode.

This episode has a lower audio quality and a higher number of interruptions and farts than I normally want for this show, but I guess that's what happens when your oldest guest is in kindergarten.

You cannot follow Dexter nor Soren on Twitter because they are children.

To celebrate the release of the 8th(!) Fast movie we discuss our personal history with the series and our respective rankings. After sharing our thoughts on the latest movie we discuss what could be fueling the series' continued success. It is probably some combination of the cast, butts, and, of course, family.
